Origin of Mineral Water in Heicigou of Northern Slope of Eastern Kunlun Mountains
Modern glaciers stand in the Kunlun Mountains,and the development of structure and geomor-phology has formed many high-quality natural mineral waters such as West Beach Large Mineral Water,Kunlun Holy Spring and Kunlun Mountain.Springs.At present,only Kunlun Mountain mineral water has been developed,and large amount of mineral waters are still undeveloped,resulting in waste of resources.Based on data collection,water sample collection,geophysical exploration and other methods,this paper studied the genesis of Heicigou large-scale mineral waters on the northern side of Kharuma Peak in Kunlun Mountains.The results show that the strontium of the mineral spring group originates from the water-rock interaction between carbonate and groundwater in the southern Kunlun Mountains.The main recharge source is the water from the ice-snow cover melting area at the bottom of the modern glacier in the area just below the Chaluma Peak.The ice-snow melting water migrates to the deep through the multi-stage active normal faults.After runoff to the south-dip water-resisting fault on the north side,the water-rich area and the upwelling channels are formed,and the spring group is formed along the channels.
